myMOOT Plugin

myMOOT is my latest FREE Joomla Plugin. So, what is MOOT? Two weeks ago I would have asked the very same question until a friend introduced me to this amazing free on-line forum and commenting system called... MOOT. One of the biggest challenges in running a website where support or commenting is needed or required is finding the right Joomla software application that does not demand daily hands-on management just to keep it live. With MOOT, you get both a forum application and a commenting system without all the hassle. All you need to do is create a MOOT account, configure it and use myMOOT to bridge MOOT and your Joomla website seamlessly.

Downloading and installing myMOOT into your Joomla website is super easy. As a Joomla Plug-in, myMOOT is always standing ready when you use the custom plug-in tag inside your content pages. You can style how your MOOT forum and commenting system looks within the Plug-in options using the custom colorpicker feature and your imagination. So, let's get down to business and pass along how all this is done...

To create your forum page, create a new Article and inside your text editor type in;{mymoot }YOUR_MOOT_ACCOUNT_NAME{/mymoot }Please, do not include ANY SPACES inside your tagsSave this article and finally, create a menu pointing to this article.DONE... I promise!

To create a commenting system inside any existing or new article type in;{mymoot }YOUR_MOOT_ACCOUNT_NAME/ARTICLE_NAME{/mymoot }Please, do not include ANY SPACES inside your tagsSave this article and go have a look!

If you want detailed information on MOOT, they offer an extensive documentation section on their website.

Download & install as a normal Joomla extension. Please make sure you enable this plugin installation and now you'll see the myMOOT tag button at the bottom of your editor. To use, click your mouse anywhere you want myMOOT to show within your content editor and the custom myMOOT plugin tab will show. Land your cursor in-between the two middle '}{' brackets and type in your MOOT information.
